  Good Dad Studios’ Second Saturdays

  Ho-hum, I hear you say. What on Earth am I to do on a second Saturday that both supports my local community and fulfills my desperate need for artistic consumption? Well, well, well: I might have a place south of Oltorf that’s got over 140 artists, small businesses, and nonprofits right in one building. This place is also open to the public every second Saturday – how convenient! – with rotating activities like live music or artmaking and a ding-dang food truck court. Oh, and this place, yes, this place called Good Dad Studios is also painted the most eye-blinding shade of magenta you can imagine so there’s literally no way you can miss it while cruising on the frontage road. Do you think, maybe, this place might solve your little second Saturday plans problem? Yeah. I thought so. – James Scott

  Starry Night

  STEM education nonprofit Girlstart is known for its semi-monthly first-Thursday Starry Night, which invites families to its mini planetarium for star shows and hands-on astronomy activities. It’s always a fun and enriching evening, but this time they’ll be vroom-vrooming through some science stuff related to the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix, on account of F1 racing into town mid-October. Family members of all ages and genders are welcome to join, and you can find more info and RSVP at Girlstart.org. – Kat McNevins

  Write Club

  As Amy Poehler’s character Susie advises about musical theatre in Wet Hot American Summer, “Your craft is a muscle; you have to exercise it.” If your craft is writing, consider Write Club your gym sesh. At this monthly meetup, participants are given a prompt or exercise, then everyone will write and share. Don’t be shy; this is a supportive environment filled with folks who are also writers, aka some of the most insecure people on the planet. Have a stretch, crick your neck, and get those writing muscles absolutely ripped. – Kat McNevins
